My Stay at Ham Yard Hotel - London, UK

I know, I know, I keep giving the London Hotels I stay in perfect reviews, but I'm not making up the words, I really like each and every hotel I've stayed in since I started this blog. I can say that the last two hotels, the ones I stayed in last summer and this winter, are by far my favorites. The latest hotel I've stayed in is Ham Yard Hotel located in Soho and steps away from the hotel I stayed at in the summer, Hotel Cafe Royal. They're both new. Ham Yard Hotel has a more lively atmosphere, the cafe, lounge, and restaurant are always busy, its never quite. The designer of this Firmdale hotel is Kit Kemp who did a great job with the splash of colors and art around the hotel. The rooms were a bit small to what I was usually used to, but liveable. There's shops just by the small pedestrian square by the hotel, plus a movie theater, spa, library, and a bowling alley just within the hotel. The location, for me, was perfect, as Soho has so many restaurants, Regent Street has good stores, Piccadilly with nice cafes, and Covent Garden being my favorite with nice stores and better restaurants.
